Item description from seller

THE STORY OF AN AFRICAN FARM- A NOVEL BY RALPH IRON (OLIVE SCHREINER) 1883. I guess that the fact that the author, Olive Schreiner, published the book with a male nom de plume is testimony itself to the time (late 1800 s) and the place (Cape Province, South Africa) it was published. Research suggests that women s role in society and a range of other social issues were central themes for this book and led to it being highly acclaimed. Please find then: The Story of an African Farm- A Novel by Ralph Iron (Olive Schreiner). This small hard cover book (5 ¼ x 7 ½ inches, 258 pages plus 3 pages of publisher s adverts) was published by Rand, McNally & Company of Chicago and New York, undated but the Preface is dated 1883. The book is bound in warm Kelly green boards with blind-stamped framing and other decorations and gilt titles on cover and spine. The top edge is gilt and there is a bound-in green satin page-marker. Alas, the book is not illustrated. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The boards are a bit rubbed along the high points and lightly bumped at the corners and spine tips. Inside, there is an inked gift inscription of the front endpaper but that is the only mark I found in the book. The interior pages are clean and bright throughout, without toning or foxing. The front hinge is intact; the rear cracked but the binding still seems tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder. Language: ENG.
